The book, which can be used in nurseries, schools and libraries, uses cartoon animals to introduce children to different types of families, including those with same-sex parents, single parents, and young carers, to encourage inclusive attitudes among children.
C-Jay, who is currently working as a learning support worker for children with SEND, has been involved in youth work and education since she was a young person, and her journey as an activist began when she became a member of the Glasgow Youth Council and Scottish Youth Parliament.
